Psychiatry NAU

As an integrated part of Aalborg University Hospital, Stage 2 brings together psychiatry and somatics in North Jutland, creating opportunities for coordinated patient pathways and efficient work flows between the various specialized departments. In addition to the adult psychiatric ward, Stage 2 includes the entire child and adolescent psychiatry, as well as a brand new ward for eating disorders. In addition, a separate hospital school is being built for children in somatic and psychiatric care.

Research shows that close contact with nature helps promote patient recovery and staff well-being. That is why the new psychiatric hospital is being developed in connection with nature. All the sections will have easy access to and views of a number of courtyard gardens, which, with their various landscapes, allow for a wide range of recreational activities in a sheltered environment. Moreover, the courtyards allow daylight to penetrate deep into the building, establishing a recurring architectural motif and ensuring that no matter where you are, the outdoors is never far away.
